Suppose we have a sorted list A. We have to return the length of the array after removing all duplicate entries. We have to perform this in O(1) extra space. So we have to do the operation in-place.For an example, suppose A = [1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6] Then the output will be 6, as there are six distinct elements.To solve this, follow these steps −If the list is empty, return 0otherwise, initially take prev = first element of A. And define length = 0for i := 1 to n-1, doif ...

The java.util.regex.MatcheResult interface provides methods to retrieve the results of a match.You can get an object of this interface using the toMatchResult() method of the Matcher class. This method returns a MatchResult object which represents the match state of the current matcher.The end(int group) method of this interface accepts an integer representing a particular group and returns the offset after the last match occurred in the specified group.Exampleimport java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.MatchResult; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class Example {    public static void main( String args[] ) {       String regex = "(.*)(\d+)(.*)";       //Reading input ...

In this problem, we are given a string and we have to find the substring from the given string. The substring to be found should start with a vowel and end with constant character.A string is an array of characters.The substring that is to be generated in this problem can be generated by deleting some characters of the string. And without changing the order of the string.Input: ‘abc’ Output: ab, ac, abcTo solve this problem, we will iterate the string and fix vowels and check for the next sequence. Let’s see an algorithm to find a solution −AlgorithmStep 1: Iterate ...

Here we will see one problem, where we take a number n, we have to find another value say x, such that x + digit sum of x is same as the given number n. Suppose the value of n is 21. This program will return a number x = 15, as 15 + digit sum of 15, i.e. 15 + 1 + 5 = 21 = n.To solve this problem, we have to follow simple approach. We will iterate through 1 to n, in each iteration, we will see if the sum of the number and its digit sum ...

Consider we have two arrays with different number of elements. We have to find a pair of elements (x, y), where x is present in the first array, and y is present at the second array. The pair will be chosen such that after swapping the elements between these two arrays, the sum of these two arrays will be same.Suppose first array A is holding [4, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1] and B is holding [3, 3, 6, 3], now the sum of A is 11 and sum of B is 15, we will take a pair like (1, 3), ...

Consider we have an array A, there are n different elements. We have to find a pair (x, y) from the array A, such that the difference between x and y is same as given difference d. Suppose a list of elements are like A = [10, 15, 26, 30, 40, 70], and given difference is 30, then the pair will be (10, 40) and (30, 70)To solve this problem, we will assume that the array is sorted, then starting from left we will take two pointers to point elements, initially first one ‘i’ will point to the first element, ...

Suppose we have n different points in K dimension space, the value of n is in range (2, 105), and value of k in range (1 to 5). We have to determine the point such that the sum of Manhattan distance from resultant point to n points is minimized.The Manhattan distance between two points P1(x1, y1) and P2(x2, y2), is |x1 – x2| + |y1 – y2|. Suppose dimension is 3, and there are three points like (1, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2), (3, 3, 3), then the output will be (2, 2, 2).To solve this problem, we have to ...

The match operator m// in Perl, is used to match a string or statement to a regular expression. For example, to match the character sequence "foo" against the scalar $bar, you might use a statement like this −Example#!/usr/bin/perl $bar = "This is foo and again foo"; if ($bar =~ /foo/) {    print "First time is matching";    } else {    print "First time is not matching"; } $bar = "foo"; if ($bar =~ /foo/) {    print "Second time is matching";    } else {    print "Second time is not matching"; }When above program is executed, it ...

There is a simpler version of the match operator in Perl - the ?PATTERN? operator. This is basically identical to the m// operator except that it only matches once within the string you are searching between each call to reset.For example, you can use this to get the first and last elements within a list −Example#!/usr/bin/perl @list = qw/food foosball subeo footnote terfoot canic footbrdige/; foreach (@list) {    $first = $1 if /(foo.*?)/;    $last = $1 if /(foo.*)/; } print "First: $first, Last: $last";When the above program is executed, it produces the following result −First: foo, Last: footbrdige
